About Susan
Susan Sturdivant-Miles is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, or struggling with relationship and family concerns. She also supports parents facing the day-to-day pressures of caregiving and life change.
Susan uses straightforward conversation to help people name what is happening for them. She listens for patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, and recurring conflict. She offers practical tools people can try between sessions to test what works in everyday life.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. That means she helps people notice thoughts and feelings, practice new behaviors, and pay attention to how early relationship patterns affect current choices. Mindfulness techniques and client-centered conversations are part of the work too.
Sessions focus on clear goals such as reducing anxiety, improving communication, or building firmer boundaries. Susan aims to break big problems into manageable steps. She explains strategies in plain language and checks in about how they fit each person’s real life.
People come for help with specific issues like abandonment concerns, blended family tension, body image, caregiving stress, or codependency patterns. She also addresses related topics such as control issues, commitment worries, and coping with major life changes.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, people-pleasing, and decisions about relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and teaches practical strategies to reduce unhelpful behaviors and manage stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and can help people build clearer boundaries and more consistent responses.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify what methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than assuming one path from the start.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work, childcare, or other routines. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, while others choose full sessions for deeper work. Ask about format choices when you schedule so you can pick what fits your day and attention span.
